The Democratic Party, on Wednesday, voted overwhelmingly for Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) to replace resigned Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) on the House Judiciary Committee. Nadler, a constitutional law expert, won the spot over Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), an architect of immigration legislation, by secret ballot with 118 to 72 votes.
The Washington Post noted on Thursday that the decision to fill their top spot on the committee demonstrates the Democratic Party’s willingness “[t]o ready themselves for a battle with Trump that could end with impeachment proceedings.”
Should the Democrats regain control of the House during next year’s mid-term elections, they intend to lay the groundwork to get Trump impeached.
“There is nobody better prepared, if the president messes around with the Constitution, to handle it than Jerry Nadler,” Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) said after Wednesday’s vote, according to the Washington Post.
For several months now, Democratic leadership, including Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), have pushed their party to put a lid on impeachment talks.

Once that tax break kicks in the Democrats are screwed. People will see who the real liars are.
For?
Campaign contributions.
If they Depose Trump, then its time a list of those Democrats and Media to be ‘Deposed’ be written and disseminated..
Great plan. Impeach Trump, raise taxes, crash the stock market, stop the infrastructure spending that will happen early next year & flood the borders will illegals.
Brilliant. I’m sure all Americans will go for that.
If the leftard clowns want a Civil War, then bring it. We’re tired of waiting.
Nadler a constitutional law expert? Sort of how Obama was always revered as a constitutional law professor when he really wasn’t?
Would love to ask Nadler, with his constitutional law expertise, what treason, bribery, or high crimes and misdemeanors has Trump committed???
For winning the election.
Thanks, but holding the Senate is not the goal. It is more likely we will win a supermajority than lose the majority. Gotta take out those red State Democrats.
They want a civil war. They will lose.
Plus he beat a “woman” who was previously selected to win without a fight. So there is that.
McTurtle’s failure to back Judge Moore and fight for the Alabama senate seat could turn out to be the biggest dumbass political move of the century,
I respectfully disagree. The folks who elected President Trump will not waste the time for a hanging. It will be open season on all the traitors.
Right..you need 67 votes in the Senate..
Women vote there pocket book...if the economy is booming the Dems are toast..
For?
_____________
For beating Hillary.
I wonder what would happen if the House impeached Trump and then the Senate...did nothing...scheduled no trial, took no vote, etc?
